The BBC Scotland channel exists on a technicality whereby to fulfil its remit 50% of programming needs to have been commissioned for the channel. It doesn't say anything about this content having to be first-run though so bar the news the channel could be full of repeats, which isn't far off from what it actually is. Viewer numbers have been massaged with Still Game on a constant loop and the likes of Guilt which may have premiered on BBC Scotland but if it hadn't been co-produced to be shown on BBC2 then it wouldn't have been made at all.
